Tulsa City and County Floodplain Maps

The city of Tulsa has a number of flood resources on their website from flood safety to flood history to flood insurance.  They provide their widely requested Regulatory Floodplain Map Atlas on their site as well. 

We carry the paper version of this map and keep it back historically.

Another publication we carry in paper is the Tulsa Public Works Department's "City of Tulsa:  A General Guide to Regulatory Floodplains."  The city mentions this in their Flood Insurance site and we keep both current and historical releases of this title.

Other 2017 city pamphlets we have copies of include:

  • 2017 Repetitive Loss Area Notice
  • Flood Hazard Information About Your Property
  • Flood Risk in Tulsa:  Are You Prepared?
  • Flood Risk in West Tulsa

The City of Tulsa website has a 2023 Repetitive Loss Area Notice

On the county level, INCOG includes access on their site to the Tulsa County Floodplain Map.

 

Tulsa Federal Floodplain Maps

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) has a Map Service Center online where you can type in your address to bring up the FIRM (Federal Insurance Rate Map) flood map for your area.

The Research Center also has paper copies of the basic FIRM floodplain maps for Tulsa County. 

To see known areas prone to flooding in Tulsa, view NOAA's Tulsa Flood Prone Areas map.
